Similar to [[Oil Drum]]s, these jars shoot an infinite amount of [[Slippa]]s at the [[Kong]]s. Sometimes, the jars will roll down the path before attacking. However, if the monkeys touch it as it rolls, they will be damaged, therefore, these objects can be very dangerous. To make things harder, they can only be defeated by the blast of a [[TNT Barrel]] that [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] throw at it. Although they appear to be a hazard, Slippa Jars may sometimes be helpful for the heroes, as they are able to jump on the jars to cross large abysses.

A basket of snakes spouts a Slippa at Donkey Kong.

Baskets of snakes[1] are obstacles that appear in Donkey Kong Land. They are the main obstacle in the level Snake Charmer's Challenge. Baskets of snakes are similar to black drums in that they spawn an infinite number of enemies in the direction of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, although baskets of snakes spawn only Slippas as suggested by their name.

The Kongs can stand on a basket of snakes as on a platform, which causes it to cease spawning Slippas. There are some baskets of snakes located in midair above a wide abyss, which the Kongs can use to get across. Some baskets of snakes roll down stairs and will hurt the Kongs upon touching them; if one hits a wall as it rolls, it stops and turns upright, becoming harmless. Baskets of snakes can be destroyed only with a TNT Barrel.
